I'm pretty sure it's the Dragonball series and not the Dragonball Z series they are doing the movie on. So, half that you mentioned will not be in the movie. I'm betting they are gonna stick with Goku and Piccalo. I'm pretty sure Piccalo is the "villain" in this movie.

Either way, unless they go the CGI route, its gonna suck.

DB is boring.
DBZ and the fact that it has SS Goku/Gohan/Vegita would be the only way I could see it being as action packed as desired.

heard edison chen might get cast as trunks. =/

That's to attract female audiences to an otherwise testosterone filled movie.

he'd be a shoo-in as Bacteria.
Lam Tsz-Chung should be Majin Buu. lol!

I read somewhere this guy is playing Goku

i heard the guy who played Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer is going to play Piccolo.

i wonder what type of approach that Stephen's going to take. is it going to be serious or a parody of the show? i hope it's the latter cause i just don't see it being taken seriously.

wasnt there a live action dragonball made already?.. i remember seeing it at the clearance bin at chapters a long time ago

i could barely take 30 minutes of pure talking and "powering up". I dunno if i will be able to bear 1.5-2 hours of that. It'll probably 5 minute intro fight in which Goku gets beat up. 30 Minutes of Training, 55 minutes of powering up, 10 minutes of powering up some more, 15 more minutes of powering up, and 5 minutes of an end fight. 3 Minute Theme song to end it off.

damn so they're gonna base it on dragon ball... that's too tame and childish for my taste now. i wanna see goku cry and turn into a SSJ and blow some **** up!
